poornam

poornam
chana dal - 1cup
jaggery - 11/2cup
ilachi powder-1/4tsp



cook chana dal in cooker by using 2 cups of water.after cooking strain all the water from it.cook until u get mashy kind of texture and the remaining wetness evoparates then add jaggery to it.it melts in it and turns into liquid form stir well until it thickens oterwise it'll get burnt.add ilachi powder now.this is basic poornam to make purnalu(boorelu),bobbatlu(poli or pooran poli) etc. i'll tell them in next posts

tips:- 1)add jaggery according to ur taste means if u love more sweet add 2 cups instead of 11/2 ,if u like less sweet add 1 cup only.
2)add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar if u really want to feel the sweetness(sugar is the quick sweetner than jaggery thats the reason to add sugar but we really want jaggery flavour in it)
3)if the poornam is not get thickened keep it in freezer for few minutes to get instant hardness to make anything.
